Travel Back to the Regency Era With a Romantic High-Society Stay Inspired by the Upcoming Third Season of the Hit Series
The hit romantic series that captured the hearts of viewers for its quirky depiction of the “ton” in Regency Era England is returning for its third season this spring. The show is known for its high-society families, decadent dresses, powerful romances and glamorous lifestyles, which took the world by storm when the series first dropped in 2020. To celebrate the show’s return on May 16, and with 52%* of travelers inspired to travel to a destination because of what they saw in a movie or TV show, Tripeden.com is sharing five stunning stays inspired by the filming locations where travelers can step back in time to England’s romantic era.
Elegant Plus Luxury Apartments, Greenwich, London
Set in early 1800s London, it's no surprise that the England capital’s backdrop makes an appearance across the series. And as many fans have been hotly anticipating this new season, film crew and cast have been spotted in Greenwich in South East London. Visitors can take in the grandeur of the Royal Naval College or the Ranger’s House which have appeared on the small screen, and spot more of the show’s filming locales on a London Greenwich Highlights Private Tour and Thames Cruise, before bedding down close to Greenwich Park with a opulent stay at the Elegant Plus Luxury Apartments. With modern and pristine apartments just a short stroll from Greenwich’s hustle and bustle, this stay is well-placed for the modern day Duke or Duchess visiting London.
The Bird, Bath
Considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in the UK, Bath is oozing with culture and history. This rich history has made the city the main filming location of the hugely popular TV series, despite it being set in London. Surrounded by the idyllic countryside, The Bird, Bath is an elegant townhouse overlooking the city's Recreation Ground and is near historic attractions such as the famous Roman Baths. While the exterior has a historic feel, the interior is filled with a bright and quirky décor and furniture. Guests are treated to an on-site restaurant which offers traditional British dishes with fresh produce. For fans of the hit TV series, explore the locations featured in the series on the Bridgerton Walking Tour of Bath. Along the route, whilst listening to familiar music and sounds of the series, visitors can marvel at the homes of main characters and venues where the balls and parties were set.
Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa, Bath
Stay in the heart of all the action at Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa. Fans of the show will instantly recognize this hotel as it was used as the exterior shots of a notable family's household. Regarded as one of the UK's greatest examples of Georgian architecture, this sumptuous stay also features an award-winning restaurant and cocktail bar fit for high-society. Its rooms reflect an 18th-century style décor, with luxury bedding and paintings from period artists. Visitors should also try the nearby Best of Bath Walking Tours - Georgian Tour perfect for brushing up on knowledge of the period whilst strolling along famous historical attractions such as the Abbey Church Yard and Old City walls.

The Holburne Museum of Art, a grand pillared building which stars as the estate of one of the leading Lady's from the show, is also a short walk away from the property.
Number 38 Clifton, Bristol
Less than an hour’s drive from Bath, fans of the ‘ton’ will find Bristol and the backdrop to many of the show’s grand balls in this city. Leigh Court, a Grade II listed building amongst a 25-acre estate on the edge of Leigh Wood, has been the dramatic setting for a number of the soirees in the shows’ earlier seasons. After a visit to this impressive Palladian mansion, visitors to Bristol can check in for a comfortable stay in a Georgian townhouse at Number 38 Clifton.
